Can We Hack Humans? Should We?
Christian Headlines ^ | 7/12/22 | John Stonestreet & Kasey Leander

Posted on 07/14/2022 2:07:33 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

One of the most enigmatic, sensational, and misguided thinkers of the last 10 years is Israeli historian and pop philosopher Yuval Noah Harari. His book Sapiens, published in English in 2015, sold over a million copies as it told the story of mankind’s evolution. His 2017 book Homo Deus predicts a transhumanist future, a world where technology fundamentally reshapes what kind of entity human beings are. 

“We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now hackable animals,” he told attendees at the 2020 World Economic Forum annual meeting. “By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to reengineer the power of life itself,” he said two years earlier. “This will be not just the greatest revolution in the history of humanity. This will be the greatest revolution in biology since the very beginning of life 4 billion years ago.” 

Harari’s prophecy doesn’t end there:  “Science is replacing evolution by natural selection by evolution via intelligent design,” he continued in 2018. “Not the intelligent design of some God above the clouds, but our intelligent design, and the intelligent design of our clouds: the IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud … these are the new, driving forces of evolution.” 

Conspiracy theorists might be forgiven for having a field day with such statements. After all, Harari’s outspoken fans include some of the most powerful people alive: Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, former President Barack Obama, as well as executive chairman of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab. Despite a somewhat critical response from academics, the success of his books is undeniable.

Yes, we certainly can or shortly in the future be able to do so. Once chips get placed in our bodies, which is coming very shortly, indeed.

Yes - we can.

No - We should not.

We will do it anyway. We will live and die with the consequences. The survivors will be quite different from us.

Wait till 6G is implemented around 2030 and smartphones evolve to being implanted in your head or body, etc. along with other skin chips, etc. Cyborg future is coming and I believe they are describing it as transhumanism. Serious law, policy, privacy, ethical, morality, etc, etc. issues galore will be had.

Greek mythology is full of wacky dreams and chimeras that didn’t pan out.

Too bad it’s probably censored in today’s pubic schools.

You can bet that the CCP is investigating this and will be conducting experiments if they have not already.

“… the success of his books is undeniable.”

Mien Kampft was the best selling book in Europe for years. Doesn’t make it Gone With The Wind.

I think history and the degenerate status of our culture has amply proven the adage: Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.

That would make a nice tagline.

I'm betting on one of the following to do us in:
1) creating by accident a black hole in the Large Hadron Collider which will grow and swallow up the Earth.
2) releasing by accident (or on purpose) a really nasty bug from the lab that will kill instantly (see The Andromeda Strain).
3) total nuclear war where all the missiles are fired, just because we can.

Yes we can
Yes we are
Yes we will
Will it be trial and error, yes
Will there be errors, never ever

Nuclear energy is safe there will never be accidents or natural disaters causing problems
